Tantus Bend Over Beginner Kit

When I first began reviewing sex toys, the subject of pegging came up between me and my partner. He was more than receptive, interested even. We had plans to get a harness, and to slowly lead into it. Time went on, we never got the beautiful leather harness I had put on my wishlist, and pegging was merely mentioned here and there without any plan of doing it in the near future. When Tabu Toys offered me the Bend Over Beginner Strap-On Harness Kit, I excitedly texted my partner, asking him if pegging was something he still wanted to try. (He did.)

The Technical Stuff: The Bend Over Beginner Kit includes two Tantus Silk dildos, the small and the medium, and a Sportsheets vibrating velvet harness. The small and medium Silks come in Tantus’ signature Purple Haze, and the harness matches the purple motif. The harness is double-strap style, with interchangeable o-rings (two are included with the kit to accommodate both dildos). There is a small pouch in the front of the harness, which fits the included wireless vibrating bullet perfectly. Since the harness is constructed out of nylon, you can throw it in the washer after an ass-play session (unlike popular leather harness) and it’s good to go for next time. The Silk dildos are no exception for Tantus products, and constructed out of 100% platinum silicone. They can be sterilized, and are the perfect size for beginners to ass-play. The small Silk is about the width of my thumb (1″ in diameter), and the medium Silk is approximately the width of 2 of my fingers (1¼”). The wide, flat base of the Silks makes them comfortable for use in a harness, and well-suited for butt-play without a harness.

The Fun Stuff: The Bend Over Beginner Kit arrived while my partner was away, so I had time to check things out for myself. The first thing I noticed about the harness is that the straps that go around the waist and legs are the same straps that buckle around the o-ring, holding it in place. Here’s a piece of advice: do not attempt to change o-rings while wearing the harness or it will fall off. The nylon straps are very accommodating to size, and can be adjusted to fit hips up to 60″. The vibrating bullet is the same one that comes with all vibrating Tantus dildos, meaning it takes watch batteries and has one setting (not OMG strong, mind you).

When my partner and I decided it was time to try out our new harness (and pegging!) for the first time, I strapped on and presented him with my little purple cock (we started out with the small Silk). We first tried cowboy position so he could control depth and pace. At first, I had the bullet vibe tucked inside the velvet pouch, but it didn’t hit my clit and dug into my pelvic bone whenever he would grind into me (note to self: take bullet vibe out when he’s on top). He rather quickly asked for the medium silk, and instead of removing the o-ring to put it in, I just slid it through the top (I already had the biggest o-ring in). I must say, cowboy position is awesome for beginners to pegging, and allows the harness-wearer to stroke the cock (or clit) of the person riding. Next up, I had to try a rear-entry position (to test out the harness, ya know). While I’m not practiced in being a fucker, the harness held up alright. I did have to stop a few times to tighten the nylon straps and prevent the harness from moving around so much. The straps didn’t dig in or leave red marks, even though I wore them tightly.

The Verdict: The Tantus Bend Over Beginner Kit is a must have for those new to pegging. While the harness isn’t the best on the market, what you get for your money with this kit is beyond worth it. The quality of Tantus is always amazing, and the smooth, flexible shafts of the Silks are great for those new to anal play or pegging. (Just remember - lube, lube, lube, and more lube!) Even when I move on to fancier harnesses, the Tantus Silks will, no doubt, remain my go-to dildos for pegging.
